Learning from natural mineral structures is an efficient way to develop potential host lattices for applications in phosphor converted (pc)LEDs. A narrow‐band blue‐emitting silicate phosphor, RbNa3(Li3SiO4)4:Eu2+ (RNLSO:Eu2+), was derived from the UCr4C4‐type mineral model. The broad excitation spectrum (320–440 nm) indicates this phosphor can be well matched with the near ultraviolet (n‐UV) LED chip. Owing to the UCr4C4‐type highly condensed and rigid framework, RNLSO:Eu2+ exhibits an extremely small Stokes shift and an unprecedented ultra‐narrow (full‐width at half‐maximum, FWHM=22.4 nm) blue emission band (λem=471 nm) as well as excellent thermal stability (96 %@150 °C of the initial integrated intensity at 25 °C). The color gamut of the as‐fabricated (pc)LEDs is 75 % NTSC for the application in liquid crystal displays from the prototype design of an n‐UV LED chip and the narrow‐band RNLSO:Eu2+ (blue), β‐SiAlON:Eu2+ (green), and K2SiF6:Mn4+ (red) components as RGB emitters.
